My DS sleeps in a co-sleeper in our room at night. But I have noticed that during naptime when he is in his crib, he sleeps better. He is only 5 weeks old, so I am not ready to let him go all night in there yet, but wanted to get an idea of when most people feel comfortable.
TIA
Re: At what age did your LO sleep in their own room?
We did the same.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

We waited until around 6mo and then she was only spending part of the night in there. When she would wake she would come back to our bed or the cosleeper. By 7/8mo she was sleeping in her own room/crib all night. E had severe reflux and lots of choking episodes so I was most comfortable with her right next to me until she outgrew it. She didn't even nap in her room until 6mo.
I believe the AAP says you should sleep near your baby for 6mo, but there are plenty of people who move them sooner. It is totally whatever works for your comfort level.
This for us too.
As soon as I realized that she was only getting up once a night - at 5am. So, that was around 2 months or so. She has been in there a while.
And, she shares with the 2 other little ones

2 months.
My pedi said she hept her first in her room until 6 months, and booted her second at a week because he was a crazy noisy sleeper, and he still loves her. :-)
2 weeks - as soon as I was recovered enough from my section to get in and out of my bed easier.
I slept on an air mattress in their rooms for a bit after that due to convenience issues but I wanted them in their rooms so I went to them instead of the other way around.
We all slept better that way!
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

I had planned to keep him in my room longer, but the heating & cooling in that house was screwy. His room was much cooler than mine, so, I ended up moving him sooner. I felt he would be safer (less SIDS risk) in a cooler room, than in a room that was too warm, but with me.
Because we're fancy like that.
Charlie- 4 days- he was a loud sleeper

Two months.. Even though Jake was little..I was at my wits end having him sleep in our room. This might sound terrible, like I am being a mean mom. But when Jake was born DH was working a crazy schedule and away most nights..I was alone with an infant and I just wasn't sleeping with him in our room. Every noise, movement, I would jump. I was exahusted..
So, one day I just put him in his crib..He did cry at first but his room isn't that far from us (down the hall) and we have a video monitor so I was totally comfortable with it. For us the transition was easy! Jake just started (with in the last 2 months) started taking all of his naps in his crib.
I think you move him when you are all ready. For us, that was just shy of 5 months. We started thinking that Sam was getting woken up by us and vice versa, and sure enough, he slept better in his room than in ours. Now, we might have been able to move him earlier, but his room is two floors below ours and I wanted to wait until he was waking less than 4 times per night.

DS#1 at 3 weeks
DS#2 is TBD. He still sleeps in our room. Mostly because I'm too lazy to move him to the nursery knowing I would have to walk over there several times a night. I'm gonna try next week though since we have family coming into town and that's going to change our sleeping arrangements.

At 5 weeks she slept in her own room and, that first night, she figured out her days and nights and slept through the night.
